Amusing FC Presale Email Blurb

StevieNxs4life · #1 03-25-2003, 06:09 PM

I know I am beating a dead horse here, however,...Did anyone else notice this towards the end of the latest presale email from Mr. Todd and the FC staff?

< SALE, LOG ON TO MICK'S CHAT AT THE FOLLOWING LINK AND REVIEW THE COMMENTS
FROM PEOPLE WHO WORKED THE SYSTEM WELL!>>

Darn! I guess I shoud've learned how to "work the system" before the last presale. Was there some sort of class I missed?Because apparently, I didn't "work the system" well enough.
Maybe Mr.Todd should make an infomercial called "Working The System," in which he teaches all the FM club members if the "system" doesn't work for them, it is only because they are not "working" it "well".

Sorry...just had to post this...I found it quite amusing..

The only ones who really "work the system" are the scalpers....

Remember one of the first fan club emails that mentioned how FM wanted their die-hard fans screaming in the first few rows? Yeah, we'll be screaming alright, "Gimmee my $60 back, you con artist!"

And I'm still waiting to hear what "they" are working on to appease those of us who got reamed on the first pre-sale....

Hmmm, I hope this isn't a trend...think any of us who pre-ordered the CD will actually receive it on or before April 15th?

P.S. I hope the Knight doesn't come over HERE and read this and ban me from Mick's board. Oooooh, I'm scaaared!

Livia...ITA about the scalpers. Maybe they're the ones posting the good reviews over there.
As far as the "Knight" banning you ( haha)...banning you from what? Have you seen that place... it's a barren wasteland now!

Livia,
I got my money back for the preordered cd. If Mr. Toad is in charge, we'd probably get it on August 15th instead.

I am wondering how he expects the banned members of his fan club to get to that link so that they can learn how to "work the system"? He links the two sites and doesn't provide for us to be able to complain or message but keeps our cash? I don't think so. I, for one, have filed my BBB complaint, my IFCC complaint and one with the CA atty gen. Also, have emailed the record label about his behaviour. If he had allowed us our feelings and had answered our questions, nowned his part in the whole thig, it would not have ended up so inflamed. Instead he is sanitizing the site furiously, reeking of complicity. He has only himself to blame. He wants to say that "trouble makers" caused this whole thing. I do not regularily post anywhere else, I am not involved in any fan sites until this fiasco. And, yes now I am a trouble maker.. but, only for him. I am purely livid.
